Hey Evolve,
"$7.50 once a week. They pay me $7.50 once a week."
This is a later period SchoolHouse Rock song. Many of you have heard me say that I’m a Schoolhouse Rock type of guy. If it gets much more complicated than that I’m out – I learned more about English watching School House Rock videos than 12 years of English being taught by professionals.
The $7.50 once a week video talks about allowance (recurring revenue) and budgeting for expenses to make sure you’re managing your money well. All in a catchy tune!
Service Leadership
We’re kicking off our 2021 Q1 meetings this week in North America and, if you’re reading this, we’ve officially announced that ConnectWise has acquired Service Leadership! Service Leadership is the Advanced Harvard education around benchmarking and operational maturity to the SchoolHouse Rock I’m more accustomed to.
I could not be more excited about finding new creative ways to bring you value with our combined resources now that we are working together. I’ve had a number of conversations with Paul and Brian and they have done what we try and get all of our members to do- build & execute their legacy and exit plans. Paul and Brian will continue to do their thing and are happy that the legacy of their “baby” is in a place where it can be more fully leveraged to help partners grow.
So, what does this mean for you? Nothing changes now. We’re obviously having conversations about how we can better leverage these awesome people and resources going forward, but we’re just getting started with those plans. ConnectWise as a company knows that the next frontier for TSP’s included better leveraging data to drive their business and add value to their client. There is no better resources in the industry than those inside of Service Leadership.
Paul, Brian and their team will join ConnectWise on the Strategy Organization which is led by Chris Timms who is the ConnectWise Executive VP of Growth. If you engage with Paul or Brian or the people on the Service Leadership team, congratulations are in order as they executed the next step in their personal and business legacy plans! We couldn’t be happier to have them in the fold and to be working with them to plan how we can bring even more value and insights to the Evolve community.
For those of you interested in more details about this acquisition, we've put together a FAQ.
GiANT Worldwide
One more reminder as we head into the first Community Day of the year – we’re working with GiANT (GiANT.TV) to bring an awesome leadership framework and training to Evolve. We want you to leverage this as much as you can in your organizations. Put it on the calendar for each of your leaders and make it a part of their leadership development this year. We’ll be working with GiANT in Q1-Q3 this year, so make plans to attend their sessions with your team during your upcoming Community Days.
Monthly Newsletter
Our first Evolve newsletter went out last week. Hopefully, you saw it. If you didn’t, check your spam or junk folder for an email from me. We also will have a form on the HUB available in the next week so you can sign up if for some reason you aren’t getting it.
Leadership Quarter – let’s start by leading strong with leadership plans in Q1 and fully engaging with your group!
Thanks for being a part of Evolve – stay healthy and lead strong!
